In preparation of MellowHype’s upcoming BlackenedWhite re-release, Odd Future’s Hodgy Beats took some time out with us to answer some of the lingering questions behind the new project and then some. He shares a reflective side of own journey with music, people and life. BlackenedWhite hits stores and online music retailers on July 12, 2011.

“When I was young, around 8 years old, my mom married some n*gga and she moved her family (which is me and my little sister) out to California. Then later on in high school, through mutual friends, I met Left Brain, who was my first producer. He was already in Odd Future and was the second member, and I was the third, and that’s how it all happened really.”
